Once the world was overburdened by the non-essential defense force of different kings, who were demons/evils but were present themselves as the royal order. At that time, the whole world became unsettled. The predominating deity of this earth, known as Bhūmi, went to see Lord Brahma to tell him about her calamities due to the demonic and evil kings. Bhūmi assumes the shape of a cow and presented herself before lord Brahma with tears in her eyes. She was bereaved (deprived of a close relation or friend through their death) and was weeping just to invoke {call on (a deity) in prayer as a witness} lord's compassion. She related the calamitous position of the earth, and after hearing this, Lord Brahma became much aggrieved (feeling resentment at having been unfairly treated) and he once began headed towards the ocean of milk, where Lord Viṣṇu resides. Lord Brahma was accompanied by all the demigods, headed by Lord Shiva, and Bhūmi also followed. Arriving on the shore of the milk ocean, Lord Brahma began to pacify Lord Viṣṇu, who had formerly saved the earthly planet by assuming the transcendental form of boar.

In the Vedic mantras, there is a particular type of prayer called Puruṣa-sūkta. Generally, the demigods offer their obeisance (deferential respect) unto Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by chanting the Puruṣa-sūkta(the standard prayer which the demigods recite to appease the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṣīrodaka-śāyī Viṣṇu). It is understood herein that the predominating deity of every planet can see the supreme lord of this universe, Brahma, whenever there is some disturbance on his planet, and Brahma can approach the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu, not by seeing Him directly but by standing on the shore of the ocean of milk. There is a planet within this universe called Śvetadvīpa, and on that planet, there is an ocean of milk. It is understood from various Vedic literature that just as there is an ocean of salt water on this planet, there are various kinds of oceans on other planets. Somewhere is an ocean of milk, somewhere there is an ocean of oil, and somewhere there are oceans of liquor and many other types of liquids. Because He is lying on the ocean of milk, He is called Kṣīrodaka-śāyī Viṣṇu. He is the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead through whom all the incarnations within this universe appear.
